I do not know why that word was translated into witchcraft or why it was included in that scripture, but that doesn't change what it means one bit, Bro. We still have "witch doctors" and "medicine men" today. The only difference is they work for Pfizer, Merck, Bayer, and other companies.  |
There is no connection between those who try to discover cures using science, and those who try to cast spells or cure ills by interacting with the spirit world. Or do you think your local pharmacist is mumbling chants while he grinds up pills into powder????
We do have witch doctors today--but your local drugstore pharmacist isn't one of them.
